Can sed be used to insert data at specific column?
I'm trying to use sed to insert data at a specific column, let's say my data looks like this:
0553 1828
0552 1829
0550 1829
0549 1830
0548 1831
what I want is this:
timein 0553 timeout 1828
timein 0552 timeout 1829
timein 0550 timeout 1829
timein 0549 timeout 1830
timein 0548 timeout 1831
So inserting at a beginning of a line is easy, that would be:
cat inputfile | sed 's/^/timein /g' > outputfile
it's inserting the "timeout" that throwing me. Any help would be appreciated.

jifty::dbi::handle::sqlite
Jifty::DBI::Handle::SQLite(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Jifty::DBI::Handle::SQLite(3pm)
NAME
Jifty::DBI::Handle::SQLite -- A SQLite specific Handle object
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a subclass of Jifty::DBI::Handle that compensates for some of the idiosyncrasies of SQLite.
METHODS
database_version
Returns the version of the SQLite library which is used, e.g., "2.8.0". SQLite can only return short variant.
insert
Takes a table name as the first argument and assumes that the rest of the arguments are an array of key-value pairs to be inserted.
If the insert succeeds, returns the id of the insert, otherwise, returns a Class::ReturnValue object with the error reported.
case_sensitive
Returns 1, since SQLite's searches are case sensitive by default. Note, however, SQLite's "like" operator is case insensitive.
distinct_count STATEMENTREF
takes an incomplete SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return a DISTINCT result count
rename_column ( table => $table, column => $old_column, to => $new_column )
rename column
